Of the options available what is the best alternative to cPanel. In other words what web based web server control software should one recommend?

The answer to what is the best ... is what do you need?

The best software for 99% of people might not be the best software for you. My reflexive reaction is to suggest the Webmin family of free cPanel alternatives. On the other hand if you want free billing and ISP style support then maybe ISPConfig might be what you want?

In your average Top 10 of free alternatives to cPanel the other two top runners are VHCS (or one of it's forks such as ispCP Omega) and DTC

Rounding out this list are Kloxo and Froxlor both of whom have good things said about them.

Add your comment. If you give a link it will be a do follow link but if you post one in your comment it will be nofollowed. I'm no fan of keywords as names and will be tempted to yank the link out if irritated. Handles, anon's and keywords in brackets after the name is sometimes okay. For example "Matt (Lord Matt)" is cool. Feel free to disagree respectfully, correct me or just say what you think. Praise is also nice.
